Yes. They're making up all the bullshit pretext for another attempt at overthrowing a fair election. They've been doing it for weeks.
Exactly. So the real question is, why is New Republic trying to help Trump by downplaying it as "mere" propaganda?
I am sick and tired of the entire news media -- even the nominally (according to the bot) "left" ones -- carrying water for the fascists!
The bot called the internet archive left-center
So strange to define a span of years as weeks.
A lot of weeks then.
Exactly. I expect to see one of these types of reports for almost every state in the next week or two.
What pisses me off most about this is that Hillary had a massive lead and polls had her at 95% chance to win, yet even the claim of Russian propaganda was balked at let alone an actual stolen election.
But now they'll use fucked up polls as proof of election interference/fraud....
I hate this timeline so fucking much...
Keep on telling them that they are winning or it's very close, so when they lose (whether in a landslide or not is irrelevant), they'll call that restaurant with all the goofy stuff on the wall, and the mozzarella sticks, and try to overthrow the government again.
IT RUBS THE LOTION ON ITS SKIN.
whether in a landslide or not is irrelevant
I disagree. A landslide would be much harder to fight/stop.
You do understand who MAGA is right? It's the mentally ill mixed with the racist. They don't care.
True, but also true: overturning 5 swing states results will be much harder for them.
It's imperative to make it a landslide.
Also for down ballot races. The house and senate are still critical to take.
Let's create a landslide anyway. For funsies.
They'll think the election is stolen when the bullshit polls they've conditioned themselves with prove false.
They will believe the new government is illegitimate and be more likely to resort to violence
Yes. That's what I said.
The "restaurant with all the shit on the walls, with the mozzarella sticks", for those that don't know, is a reference to the 2001 cinema cult classic "Super Troopers", wherein one character is being tricked into saying the word "Shenanigans" in order to receive a pistol whipping, which was threatened to the next person who said the word, while aforementioned character was out of earshot.
In making the reference, in also subtly reminding readers of the post-2020 election Trump press conference, which was mistakenly placed at "Four Seasons Landscaping", which up until shortly before the event, Trump thought was happening at a Four Seasons Hotel.
The setting of the Four Seasons Landscaping press conference itself, was a bit of foretelling poetry, as it was a run-down warehouse nestled between a porn shop and a crematorium. Thats the type of shit Nathaniel Hawthorne couldn't even think up.
Which is fitting, because the opening of The Scarlett Letter paints the setting as a town that built a prison and a cemetery before anything else.
And, funny story, Nathaniel Hawthorne was a direct descendent of Judge John Hathorne, a pivotal character in both the historical Salem Witch Trials, and the fictionalization known through the book The Crucible, by Arthur Miller. Which of course was using the Salem witch hunts as a metaphor for McCarthy-era anti-communism trials...but also, Trump is constantly crying of being a victim of a political witch hunt.
Sup dawg. Heard you liked being meta.
Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote.
Whether or not this poll is real doesn't matter. The reality is that this election is literally a 50-50 coin toss right now, so you have to do everything you can to help Harris win!!! Volunteer to make calls, speak to your friends and family and make sure they have a specific plan to go vote, offer car rides or baby sitting to help people actually get to the voting booth, - whatever you can think of doing!!!
So... it's the same as he's always done?
remember when he was surprised he actually won in 2016?
I remember Melania cried. Not the happy kind.
Remember how unhappy he looked? I do.
Yes. He looked. Not her.
Say what? There's video of her in Trump Towers celebrating with everyone else at the announcement. Trump was the one with his head in his hands.
She thought she might have to take leave of the pool boy.
Well she didn't move to the Whitehouse until several months after Don.
Frisky Dingo nailed it almost 20 years ago.
